Accessing Library Books

The school library may be closed but you can still read your favourite books and discover new ones.

If you are a member of Maribyrnong Library Services you can access books in the following ways.

Reservation Delivery Service

Simply reserve your items online and a staff member will call you to arrange a delivery. The books will be delivered to your front door or mailbox whilst maintaining physical distancing procedures. Please contact the library on 9688 0290 if you have any questions.

Ebooks and Eaudiobooks

In addition to the Reservation Delivery Service, you can also borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks through the apps Libby by Overdrive and BorrowBox. Titles include Harry Potter Series, Billie B Brown and books by authors including Andy Griffiths, Paul Jennings, Aaron Blabey, David Walliams and Roald Dahl to name a few.
